The Present of Presence

puttin' that ring on my finger was clever, i’ll admit it, 'cause every time i look down, i can't forget it, and lately i've been lookin down a lot, all the times on the phone that we fought, feelin' like you forgot, those two years, now they're just brain smears, blank tears, can't seem to get my words through your ears, and today it’s 24 years that you've been livin', i just want you to know, that everything is forgiven, i just miss you, you're the only person i ever had to get to, that point with, where no matter what happens, for each other, we’ll always care, always be there, and every time i look up in the sky and see a star, and stare, know it's still you i think about while i'm standin' there, you're like my air, i breathe you, i need you, because what we share is like nothin' i ever knew, and don't think for one second i don't care about you you're the only star i see when i look up in the air, you.
